Stripping shovels and walking draglines are the largest earthmoving machines in the world ? the former capable of moving 100 cubic yards of dirt with one scoop and the latter standing several stories tall. Author Keith Haddock, a former stripping shovel maintenance engineer, dips into his collection of period and modern colour photography to reveal the construction, operation, and maintenance of the extreme mining machines built by manufacturers like Bucyrus-Erie and Marion.
